Feast your ears, and praise young classical musicians

My 13 year old neighbor is playing the piano. I have known him since birth. He has been home schooled his whole life until now when he got into the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. That school takes exceptionally talented High Schoolers in Music, Dance and Drama.

Bedrich Smetana Piano Trio in G Minor, Opus 15

I have known he is good, but not til his father sent me this video did I know the extent of his gift. In return I sent them the photo below, which I took in Prague in front of the Smetana Museum, and the water is - of course - "Die Moldau" (one of my favorite pieces of music since childhood)
Now the young one wants to go to Prague.
